I have C# project with an associated deployment project, which creates
a Desktop shortcut. The icon on the shortcut is some plain-vanilla
document, not the app's icon. Where does one tell the project what
icon to use, or why isn't it picking up the app's icon? The app itself
shows the correct icon.

You will need to associate the doc files with your app by modifying the
registry under the HKCR\your ext\Shell\Open\Command key and specifying
your app location for the default value.

My problem is not one of file association. The shortcut to the app itself
displays a piece of paper (with the little link arrow) as the icon. Why is
it not finding the icon that is part of the exe?
